You should be able to reformat it on your mac. I've done that with thumb drives for sure.

Had same problem with thumb drive bought at same time. Mac would not recognize or write to either becAuse, apparently, they were formatted in NTFS.

Guys,
I had a very disappointing experience today. I bought a 128GB SSD drive, only to learn that a Mac could not write to it. It was bad enough that I couldn't find an SSD drive with FireWire ports, but to find a drive that could only be written to buy a Windows computer? This was absolutely unacceptable. Does anyone know of an SSD drive with FireWire ports that can be used by a Mac?
